Their vehicle is so dull compared to their design.

Cool pic! I was checking around and this guy is definitely starting to disappear now. Guess I better decide quick if I really want to get one...

This is a pic from The Art of Solo book. How cool would this have looked! Definite CHiPs vibe.

I preordered this but thinking of cancelling. It’s a fantastic looking figure but at the end of the day I think I should move the $300 Canadian to Count Dooku!! I have the Snow and Sand trooper and that should be enough to represent. Again not taking away anything from the figures looks good!! Damn Shame!!

Those arms are so distracting. Such a great figure otherwise. Whatever costume-maker keeps adding those to the on-film suits should be fired. Off with his/her head!

It doesn't bother me too much here because it reminds me of motorcycle gear. It's reinforced such that if he falls and slides he can brace with his arms. At least in my mind.

Now that sort of kills the pants being fabric but hey, it's something.

 

[sithocan]

The pants are made of Correlian silk. It's impact and abrasion resistant. Joking of course.

There are plenty of textile armoured trousers available for motorcyclists, even nowadays.

Loontentoys on EBay has some for sale at £179.99 with free postage. Can't be that popular in HK to be this price for a new release.

loontentoys? really? can't seem to find anything listed on his page/store.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

It's there but it states "Pre-Order" so they don't have stock yet.

 

[princeraph]

I am curious myself if anybody has had any experience buying from loonentoys... their prices seem fine...

I bought from them and no issues other than that they don't get the figures as quick as some other sellers. It arrived quick when they shipped it and was packed well.

 

[Tee-Kay]

Used to order from them with no issue at all. Strangely, their Ebay store seemed to be closed for some time now. As most of you can actually see items listed there, i can only assume they restricted shipping to certain areas.

Will you guys stop tempting me here !!!

Star Wars in general is not popular in Asia. The people buying this figure are not from Asia. The surprise is going to be when the e-tailers get less than a case of these and people start bitching why there were so few made.

 

[davejames]

Jeez, watching the movie again, the closest thing we get to a closeup of this guy is after he flies off the bike! For some reason I remembered seeing a bit more than that the first time.

 

[hokietwo]

Haha I know, watched solo last week and I could have swore that chase scene lasted longer.

 

[Darkseed]

The patrol trooper chase scene was over in a blink .......
